I've been trying for quite some time to build CM 11 by using the device specific sources for the s2vep. Could someone explain me how to put it all together or point me to build instruction for this specific device? I think I am missing some manual steps that differ from the officially supported devices.

Long story:
Most of those linked by nikwen are deprecated and abandoned.
Currently Ubuntu for Devices supports Nexus 4, Nexus 7 2013 WiFi only and Nexus 10. Anything else is subpar on a testing level platform that most won't use as a daily driver. You could build an image yourself if there is a CyanogenMod 10.x for your device and you understand how to build an OS Image. By using github to pull from Ubuntu feeds, CyanogenMod feeds, libhybris, etc.; and you have a dedicated build environment that you can turn over to cranking out some nightlies for yourself...
Short story: No.

Sir can you help me or tell path way to build a custom gnu linux os for this device i want to learn it
One of my biggest gripes with KitKat is the crippled webview. A number of great browsers relied on webview, and delivered an unmatched experience with text reflow and configurable zoom defaults. In my attempt to get it back, I've compiled a CM11 with the older 4.3 webview.
I have the newer Moto G LTE, but unfortunately there are no custom roms yet so I have not been able to build one for my own device. As a result, I'm looking for users familiar with the flashing process and are willing to try this out and report back on how well it works on their non-LTE Moto G.
Some information and warnings
- Rom base is CM 11 KitKat 4.4.4 (Thanks CM Team, dhacker29, etc)
- This is for the non-LTE Moto G, aka Falcon
- Uses stock CM11 pre-built kernel
- updater-script has not been changed, so it should be the same flashing steps as the official CM11
- I do not have the regular Moto G, so I have NOT been able to test this myself
- You should be familiar with recoveries and have a proper backup of your device
- You will be doing everything at your own risk. I am not responsible if you end up damaging or bricking your device.
Just leave a reply and I'll get back to your with a PM with a link to download the rom.
bump! Still looking for someone to help me try this out.
Hi Storm, unfortunately I've not a moto g, but a lot of issues on my samsung galaxy s2 plus with webview. Chrominium works orribly on my device. Can you teach me to build CM11 with webkit for my device ?
Hope you agree
Best regards, Ricky

There is an unofficial CM11 build for Peregrine, you just need Shabbypenguin's device tree from Github
This is very primary and stupid question but I still need your helping hand.
I am trying on collecting volatile memory form Samsung Galaxy Duos - GT-I8262 running Android version 4.1.2 build version: JZO54K.I8262XXAMG2.
In this link I found kernel source codes for the device, but I am not clear on what to use. There are several source code zip files. For example: GT-I8262_SEA what does stands for?
I think version is build version, none of the match with mine. So using incompatible build version to make loadable kernal module of LiME: Will if destroy my device.
Please help
Ok so in order to built an official rom, if i understand this correctly, the developers must have the device drivers (released by OEMs - qualcomm, for example) and these must be built for the correct android version.
So if you look at a galaxy 1 (old device), there's no official Lollipop rom since there are no official drivers. So if you encounter a lollipop rom, know that it's ported (and expect issues). The best roms will always be based on official drivers.
True?
Anyways - now here's what I don't get: both Oxygen and Cyanogen are based on official firmware (drivers)?
Also - are they competing?
Last - what is the latest official firmware build of OPO (5.0? 5.1?)
Thanks!
The device didn't get 2nd major android update and probably wont get one. It is already barely getting firmware / security updates. So I kindly request the developers to develope a custom rom for this device.
Device Specifications: https://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_j7_max-8684.php

If anymore info required let me know.

But its just 4 years old and I have seen people make custom roms for way older phones. I have seen people make android 9 custom roms for devices that stopped at android 5. Plus is there no other way to make a custom rom without the device itself? There are a lot of people who still use it today and could possibly help in the process of making the rom.
Please make a custom rom for this model SM-G615F. I want Android 11. But this device stuck in Android 8.1

You will have to learn how to build it yourself, developers here don't build ROMs for unpopular devices or devices they do not personally own or use. You will also have to learn how to build TWRP for your specific device model number. But first, you need to see if you can unlock your bootloader. If your bootloader is locked and if you can't unlock it, you can't use custom ROMs or TWRP even if you manage to figure out how to build your ROM and TWRP.
